Key Quotes
“AUD spiked to a high of 0.7750 but the up-move was quickly reversed. The subsequent rapid drop to a low of 0.7670 has resulted in a mixed outlook and this pair is expected to trade choppily for today”.
“AUD moved above the strong 0.7725 resistance yesterday with a high of 0.7750. However, the up-move was shortlived and the rapid and sharp pull-back from the top reinforces our current neutral view on this pair”.
“That said, the increased volatility suggests a wider consolidation range of 0.7595/0.7760 instead of the 0.7595/0.7725 expected previously”.
